• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check rice for doneness; if water is already completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup more water to keep mixture moist. Continue baking until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over the dish.

INSTANT POT CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
• Press "saute" button on Instant Pot and let pot heat up. Add in olive oil to pot, then add in chicken, salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute over heat until onions become translucent and chicken starts to brown (5-6 minutes).
• Add rice and cook for 1-2 minutes more; just until rice starts to turn golden brown.
• Add in chicken broth and water. If you have the burn notice on your IP, you will want to deglaze the bottom of your Instant Pot at this time to prevent that from happening. Place lid on Instant Pot. Press "manual" button and set timer for 8 minutes.
• Once cooking time is complete, switch the valve on top to "venting" (i.e. a quick release).
• Remove lid and add in soup, shredded cheese, and frozen vegetables. Mix everything together until cheese is melted and vegetables are warmed (if you need to turn it on saute to help the vegetables cook, you can do that. Just be sure to stir continuously so that it doesn't burn).

CHICKEN AND RICE FOR TWO(COOK'S COUNTRY)

Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine ¾ cup broth, rice, and ¼ teaspoon salt in medium bowl and microwave, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 6 to 8 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chicken until browned all over, about 10 minutes; transfer to plate.
• 3. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pot, add onion and ¼ teaspoon salt, and cook over medium-low heat until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add remaining ½ cup broth and wine, scraping bottom of pot to loosen any browned bits. Stir in parcooked rice, breaking up any large clumps, and bring to simmer. Place chicken skin side up on rice, cover, and bake until rice is cooked through and chicken registers 175 degrees, about 25 minutes.
• 4. Remove pot from oven, transfer chicken to platter, and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Fluff rice with fork, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Stir parsley into rice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve rice with chicken.
• TIP:Chicken and rice is usually made in a wide skillet. But with such a big circumference, even a covered skillet lets too much steam escape. We had better results with a saucepan, which has a smaller circumference, and hence keeps the moisture where you want it: in with the chicken and rice.

SLOW COOKER CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Place chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. Scatter onion over the top. Spoon soup over that. Cover and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours.

• Stir cooked rice, corn, and Cheddar cheese into the slow cooker a few minutes before serving. Serve hot.
